Chapter 449: The Battle of Tianchi (1)
After seven years of living and fighting.
The Western Regions Coalition Army under Li Zhongxiang's command has completely shaken off the unbearable impression of the past rabble and winning victories based on numbers alone, and at the same time, because the soldiers come from different countries and have different abilities and specialties, the coalition forces have multiple choices when dealing with changes.
The allied forces, who were familiar with the road conditions, avoided the Hun scouts from an infrequent shortcut, and although the only few Hun scout sentries who came out of the front discovered the dangerous approach, they could only be shot under the horses like stakes in a hopeless way in the face of the intensive archery skills of the Qin crossbow cavalry.
At dusk.
The Qin army successfully completed the encirclement of the Xiongnu tribes, Luo Jia's army was in the east, Li Zhongxiang's army was in the south, forming a joint attack on the Huns, and Tianchi was in the north, which made the Huns retreat only one way to the west.
Circumference three que one.
This is the essence of the ancient Chinese art of war, this time, the Qin army besieged the Huns on the second road, and it was this strategy that was adopted, and it was Xiao Li Li Zhongxiang who proposed this strategy.
――。
The unfavorable news came one after another, so that Helianbi, who was immersed in the dream, finally woke up, and under the predicament, the Zuihou king of the Xiongnu tribe broke out on a strong side.
The war horse neighed violently.
The Hun soldiers had hideous faces one by one, waving the rudimentary weapons in their hands, and let out meaningless shouts. All this, as well as the whistling of the north wind blowing over Tianchi and the sound of flags, constitute a grand scene of a great war approaching and the sky falling apart.
"Warriors of the Great Huns, raise your spears, and the opportunity for revenge has come." In the formation of the Huns, the shirtless commanders shouted loudly to boost morale.
Compared with morale, compared to weapons and equipment, Helianbi's troops naturally cannot be compared with the Qin army, but. Compared with ruthlessness and scheming, Helianbi has enough self-confidence.
Under the wolf flag.
Helian Dadan, who had just been dressed neatly, stepped up on the prancing horse and shouted at the generals on the left and right: "Sons, cheer me up, we don't have to be afraid, because we have hostages in our hands, and now, I order those slaves of Wusun and Daxia to be driven to the front, their lives and deaths." Let Qin Gou choose, haha-. ”
Taking the captives and people of Wusun and Great Xia as hostages, forcing the Qin army to tie their hands, in a hurry, Helian Bi was able to come up with such a poisonous plan, I have to say that he was indeed a step above Hu Yanxie.
"Da Dan is a good idea, if Qin Gou kills these slaves, then they will be recognized as enemies by the Wusun Daxia people. If they cower and don't kill, then our chance is here. Hearing Helian Bi's order, the generals of the Huns at all levels were greatly invigorated.
Face the music.
Of course, Helian Bi refused to admit defeat, and this was the difference between him and the decrepit Hu Yanxie. In the same situation, if the Huns commanded the evil spirits, they were afraid that they would have given the order to flee quickly, but Helianbi did not. The first thing he thought about was whether there was a chance to fight back.
The tide of the war changed dramatically, but the Huns were not completely without opportunities. They did not suffer in terms of the number of troops, and in addition, they also had a large number of Wusun Daxia slaves to use as hostages, and with these meat shields, Helian Bi was sure that his troops could firmly grasp the initiative in the first wave of offensives.
――。
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
Thirty thousand Wusun and Daxia slaves were detained in the northwest corner of Tianchi, the most low-lying area, all of them in rags, with no long things, and their expressions were dazed and hopeless.
In the past month, the Huns swept across the Aral Sea basin, and successively wiped out the Wusun and Daxia kingdoms, and its momentum was so strong that the people in the Western Regions felt terrified, although they were unwilling, but in the face of absolute strength, they did not dare to have the slightest resistance.
However, this night, the abnormal situation of the Hun camp shouting horses neighing, but let the slaves see hope, and among these foreign people, there are some people in green clothes and green robes, with a crown on their heads, and a cloth bag tied around their waists, which are extraordinarily active, and some of these people's faces are no different from those of the Western Regions, and some of them clearly have the appearance of Orientals.
"Heavenly Master, what you said is true? Is the army of Qin really coming? An elder Wusun, who was nearly fifty years old and had a vaguely rich expression, asked in a trembling voice.
"Of course it's true, listen to it, take a look, what are the expressions of those Huns now, they are paralyzed with fright, and they are about to run away?" The person called the Heavenly Master is strong and round, with curly hair and slightly bent legs, all of which indicate his identity, that is, a real Wusun businessman.
"The Huns are really gone? Heavenly Master, what do you say we should do? The captive slaves, who were held in one place, looked around in confusion, and soon they let out a low cry of surprise.
Zhang Liang's Heavenly Master Dao.
With Li Yuan's strong support, both financial resources and influence have been greatly strengthened, especially in the northwest region, a considerable number of Silk Road Hu merchants have joined the Heavenly Master Dao, and soon became a Heavenly Master. If there is enough time, the Heavenly Master Dao can even replace the secular Liliang, and slowly transform the countries on the Western Regions such as Wusun and Great Xia into vassal states that yearn for the Eastern civilization, so that the hearts of these people from other countries will be towards Daqin from generation to generation.
The invasion of the Huns disrupted the expectation that the Heavenly Master Dao would grow step by step, and now, this group of slaves is facing a life-and-death decision, and if they do not resist angrily, they will become cannon fodder for the two armies to fight.
"Wait a while, you go and contact more troops, and then, listen to my orders, as long as I make a move on my side, you will immediately follow, kill the escorted Huns first, and then, we will go to Qin-!" The Celestial Master's words of encouragement seemed full of confidence, which made the suspicious captives gradually settle down.
There will not be many Huns mixed in the slave ranks, as long as more people are arranged around the escorted Huns, and more than ten people are used to deal with one person, even if it is pressed, the Huns can be killed.
――。
The east bank of Tianchi.
The cavalry of Luo Jiabu marched all the way from Gushi to the Ili Valley, and it took only eighteen days for the whole army to be completed, which was five days shorter than the normal marching speed.
The Great War is coming.
Luo Jia suddenly put the momentum very big, black and pressing, from the place where the Huns were, there were as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people, but in fact, Helian Bi was thinking too much, no matter how capable Luo Jia was, he couldn't bring all the sparse marching troops to the Tianchi.
When the Huns discovered the Qin army, Luo Jia's army really arrived in Tianchi, in fact, there were only more than 8,000 people, and the rest of the troops were still on the way to come.
Luo Jia bluffed, at this time, if Helian Bi moved quickly and led the main force of the Xiongnu to launch a counter-assault, the sleepy Luo Jia army would be severely damaged. However, Helian Bi, who was in a state of panic, obviously had no time to think about what flaws the Qin army had, and he put his main thoughts on self-preservation.
After sunset.
The twilight of dusk began to envelop the branches.
The follow-up Qin troops arrived one after another, and the two troops of Cao Xin and Ji Xin, who were responsible for the security of the left and right flanks of the Luo Jia army, after receiving the news that Tianchi had discovered the main force of the Xiongnu, traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the place of engagement before the outbreak of the official war.
In front of the battle between the two armies, a group of Wusun Daxia people who were tied together began to be driven, slowly moving in the direction of the Qin army's formation.
However, under the cover of nightfall, it was not easy for the Qin soldiers to distinguish from a distance whether they were captive civilians or Hun soldiers, and this was Helianbi's opportunity to defeat the Qin army.
Five hundred steps.
Three hundred steps.
A hundred steps further, it reached the range of the Qin army's crossbow arrows, and at the same time, the distance of two hundred steps, for the Huns, is a charge, as long as these slaves consume the Qin army's crossbow arrows, then the next war is the world of the Huns. (To be continued......)
